I know a few guys who got SAP certification and went to Saudi Arabia (Aramco has the biggest SAP site around) or got jobs in USA / Europe.

The key is getting your first job. Best thing to do is talk to Wipro or TCS and see if they can guarantee you a job after certification.

Good Luck!

i know people in Qatar who are unable to get jobs, or even an interview call, and they are certified, with years of implementation experience.

If you show patience and wait in India for at least sometime you could gain some experience and then come here.

you can have the best software governing a company where 60 % of the employees are clowns and you can have an excel spreadsheet running a successful business.

It is what you make of it and who is using it. SAP is great but it would an overhead in a place like this. It will cost you more than what it will bring you simply because no one cares.....

That's because the demand is high and the supply is quite marginal.

SAP isn't to difficult to learn,but it needs concentration.

Here's this bit of news that is quite interesting.

You must decide which "module" or area of SAP you want to go into.

The most important here are SAP-OIL and Supply Chain.

You will NOT get a job without certification and at least one/two SAP implementations under your belt. Having said that, It is worth doing..

The most, expensive, useless, labour intensive piece of junk ever written.

No one uses it as they should because it would take an army of technicians, engineers and accountants to fill every field and every step. So it gets used only in part.

Ban SAP (Stuningly Atrocious Program)

SAP is easy enough, why does one need training in it. Just practice on any MIS software you can get your hands on.
